  1. Geoinstruments showcase a Multiple Frequency Electromagnetic Profiler GEM300 for 3D subsurface profiling in the frequency or time domain.
  2. Hygrometer for paperboard: There is a sensor called Humitest MC-50 which is a capacitance moisture meter for wood (0-85% moisture) and homogeneus building materials (0-16%). The field penetretion depth is about 30-50 mm and the resolution 0.1%. I think it is manufactered by a finnish company called JJL TeKno.
  3. FTS http://www.ftsinc.com/ environmental monitoring systems with ready to go weather stations, loggers and sensors including water quality, turbidity, pH, depth. Fire danger, ice, windspeed and precipitation senors as well as the complete packages to put it all together.. seems impressive!

  5. Enhanced Technologies Ltd. In Situ Soil Stiffness Probe
    The soil stiffness/can be applied probe to various aspects of civil and environmental engineering, especially Dredging and related operations.

  6. C Vision offer a lot of hydrology related software (WIN and DOS based). Emailswagman@cvision.com.au.

  7. Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc. (ASD) is a leading global supplier of portable spectrometers, spectrophotometers, spectroradiometers, and near infrared analyzers. These instruments cover the ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis) and near infrared (NIR) wavelength ranges. Applications for ASD's instruments include: QA/QC analysis of both raw materials and finished products, on-site analysis of food products, field measurements for satellite and aircraft remote sensing, environmental research, water quality assessment, oceanography, snow and ice research, mineral exploration, photobiology, and, crop field studies

    e-mail: aquamoist@aol.com THey have all sorts of industrial strength moisture meters - with one that could possibly suit soil moisture measurement...

    Their BSP-901 "Radio Frequency Moisture Probe appears to based on TDR/FDR principle, but no details are given in their pamphlet "Continuous On-line Moisture monitoring and control systems", apart from ..operates on the principle of radio frquency (RF) power loss, primarily due to absorbed water and to alesser degree, absorbed surface water. Any liquid or solid material placed near a low power transmitting antenna will load or reduce its signal voltage by dissipating some of its energy. The resulting voltage change is measured and scaled by electronic measurement circuitry... (see also their relevant web page). THis system seems to cater for large industrial manufacturing aplications (priced accordingly), and no mention is made of attempted use in soils... Perhaps there is potential here?
